I have just got my Cisco 7960 working. The key is to set the phones to register with the SIP proxy. It is an option that appears to be disabled by default, and I could not find any way of enabling it from the phone's MMI interface.

you need to use TFTP to load a config file in which has the following lines

# Proxy Registration (0-disable (default), 1-enable)

proxy_register: 1

I found all the information at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2156/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html

It now registers with Asterisk beautifully.

Quoting Joe Greco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


i am new to this list and i dot not know, if anybody had already the
same problem. I have two cisco 7960 which i want to upgrade to sip. Has
somebody already taken the upgrade-process for special hints and
suggestions? I have already visited the cisco-page and i have read the
proposal for the migration. Is there a special order of

firmware-upgrades?

[correct quoting order restored...  damn top-posting]


The definitive guide of what versions can be upgraded to what is at:



http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4967/products_upgrade_guides09186a008022a968.html

In particular, look at tables 2 and 3.

Horrible answer.

Better:

1) Take ANY Cisco documentation with a ton of salt.  I've seen numerous
  examples of it being broken, silly, and just plain wrong.  And that's
  just the useful and relevant bits.

2) Run, don't walk, run over to the Wiki and stare at the numerous notes
  available on upgrading the firmware on these.  Probably a good idea
  to look at related pages too.

Some of us have put up information to make it easier for you to get the
dirty work of upgrading one of these phones done.  It may not be neat, it
may require some reading and effort, it may require a little trial and
error, but it ought to be all there.

Cisco makes some great phones, but their documentation and their upgrade
processes are crappy.

Don't give up, though, and don't let any "consultants" talk you in to
paying them to do it for you.

obDisclosure: we do consulting work here.  But we believe in end-user
empowerment and we're not interested in upgrading your phones.  That's
why I contributed a few missing bits to the Wiki, which definitely can
get you through the whole process, now (I hope)!

Now back to lurking,
